For what it's worth, we scan *inbound* mail going to the Listserv system but not outbound - it was relatively simple to implement since we already had a rack of Mirapoint systems. We don't do it to protect the Listserv system itself - we do it to minimize the effects of The Next E-mail Based worm (Sircam, Nimda, Klez, etc). All it takes is a few people posting to a mailing list that has 3,000+ local subscribers to start a really nasty virus burn.... -- Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Senior Engineer Virginia Tech
